While driving the check engine, cruise control, abs, and vehicle dynamics control lights all came on. I later learned that a bad o2 sensor was the cause. It was raining and when i applied the brakes moderately firmly due to another car stopping hard in front of me, my car's brakes locked up and i slid on the wet pavement. Fortunately no accident occurred. After replacing the 02 sensor, the lights went off. Weeks…

Sudden acceleration disabling the cruise control to slow down and then hitting the resume button caused the car to surge . The rpm increased from 2000 to 6000 rpm.
